"In the Making" weaves a captivating tale of mystery around the protagonist, St. John, an Orphan facing a sentient virus and a monstrous organism. We loved immersing ourselves in the gripping sci-fi world that Tonya R. Moore created.

There's been a LOT of great stuff over the past few days, and some remarkable TSs and Winners. Well done everyone!! One debut writer whom I'd love to promote is Ashe Lawson, with her poem: 'We can't let robots write all the love poems'. Thanks so much, and WELL DONE everyone for a fantastic week of writing! xx https://vocal.media/poets/we-can-t-let-the-robots-write-all-the-love-poems
Would love to see Talia Devora receive a TOP STORY nod for her gorgeous poem. Thank You Fallhttps://vocal.media/poets/thank-you-fall
So much good stuff this last week, not sure where to start but I loved this story by Bugsy..the way it describes the process of therapy is very tangible! https://vocal.media/chapters/2nd-appointment
Kale Bender is one of my more recent subscribers, and a writer of great range and versatility. I've enjoyed his poems and his microfiction, but as a fellow sci-fi fan I must admit it's Kale's work in this genre I'm most drawn to! He's very prolific, but to start you off here's one I particularly enjoyed, technically a Star Wars tribute although the characters in it are all originals of Kale's. Whether you're a modern, a prequels, or like me a classic era kind of reader, you'll find something here that chimes just right with your own personal Star Wars experience. So take a look below, and may the force be with you! https://vocal.media/fiction/tn-421
This is another one I found quite stirring today. https://vocal.media/poets/resist-mwod0tap
Would love to see Rick Henry Christopher's compelling Blackbird Fly series receive a TOP STORY nod. It is fantastic. Here is the latest installment:https://vocal.media/chapters/blackbird-fly-part-six?fbclid=IwAR2_CfIezc5Qnjc_pyC9tOiELQO9g6cbvbSnkupnffUvgC1sXgBwoHCKKRE
This deserves some attention...and a thank you to Amber! https://vocal.media/writers/set-me-a-challenge
A lovely story by our Mother Combs https://vocal.media/fiction/storytime-2obd0tpr From my good friend Tiffany Gordon. This one is so inspiring. https://vocal.media/fiction/a-gorgii-porgii-day-d51aa07l2
Hi, I'm Maureen and I write about books and writing, and also write some mystery/thriller/horror flash fiction! Here are four pieces I recommend: -Prose Poetry vs. Flash Fiction: https://vocal.media/writers/prose-poetry-vs-flash-fiction -Note on Fridge: a really interestingly formatted flash fiction: https://vocal.media/fiction/note-on-fridge -Green Eggs & Ham & Pernoste: https://vocal.media/fiction/green-eggs-and-ham-and-pernoste -Passing the Killer: the author's true experience of seeing her brother's best friend right after he killed someone!: https://vocal.media/criminal/passing-the-killer
The final chapter of the collaborative fiction story will drop any day. I suggest this, the first in the series, written by Ian Read
Dana here, AKA Doc, AKA Bro. I'd like to give a shout-out to my Sissy, Heather's very recently published piece, a sad but beautiful note to a departed friend: https://vocal.media/poets/wildflowers-282i40h2j

Loved this joyous offering https://vocal.media/poets/live-like-a-labrador
I really enjoyed this by Jay Kantor https://vocal.media/humor/fantasy-phone I also thought this was wonderfully written by Gerard Dileo https://vocal.media/fiction/transition-6vga055r And this by Jamie Ramsay https://vocal.media/poets/chicken-noodle-soup-ue2z0pfm

Will get in early. Five stories I think deserve Top Story Status This from Raymond G Taylor https://vocal.media/writers/to-vocal-or-not-to-vocal This interesting one from Sophia Hayes https://vocal.media/history/15-historical-facts-that-will-disturb-you-hmfo0a64 This great concept from Celia in Underland https://vocal.media/fiction/the-great-and-auspicious-library-of-living-tales This great tale from Kelli Sheckler-Amsden https://vocal.media/poets/the-map-5cj0c3r A great insight from Rachel Robbins https://vocal.media/geeks/whatever-happened-to-baby-jane-1962 And always thought this was worthy of a Top Story but Vocal said no https://vocal.media/poets/another-raven?via=mike
I'd like to lift up this fantastic poem by Poppy that she wrote for her own 1, 2, 3 challenge :) https://vocal.media/poets/recharting
Way to overwhelm me, Vocal! Just reading through the tasty-winning-Challenge-story announcement, too!
